Full Day Programs

Age 8 weeks to 5 years old

We have four full day classrooms based on age and development: Infant-Toddler, Beginners, Preschool and Prekindergarten. Each classroom provides loving child care for it's students along with the age appropriate learning and academics. Our full day program is open Monday through Friday 7am - 6pm year round. Gingercare is closed on major holidays.

Part Day Preschool

Age 3 to 5 years old

Our multi-age program offers an exciting 2-5 day schedule. You choose the number of days and days of the week, based on what works best for your schedule. Drop off and pick up are at your car! Mornings from 8:45 am - 11:45 am. Our preschool program prepares children for Kindergarten by providing for their social, emotional, academic and spiritual development.

Between my two children, we were at Gingercare for six years. Their teachers are so knowledgeable of early childhood development. Not only do they prepare the children academically, but they also build the children’s executive functioning skills. They are the best around!

The teachers are the best, they truly care about the kids and their development. This is not your typical daycare center, you won’t meet a new teacher every other week. My family has been with Gingercare for about 4 years and I think I’ve only seen two teachers leave. They also host a few family fun nights that are a big hit with the kids and parents. I seriously can’t say enough good things about this place, we feel very fortunate we found Gingercare.

Josh M (parent), Oct 2017

I highly recommend Gingercare! The staff is wonderful. The curriculum is very impressive and has made my daughter more than prepared for Kindergarten this fall. Barb is a very caring and attentive director. There is nowhere else I would hav wanted my daughter to have attended the past two years. I feel very blessed to have had Gingercare.

Healthy and Delicious Meals

Gingercare provides two snacks and one meal for the full day children, and one snack for the part day children. Our meals are balanced and a variety of foods are always provided. Snack and meal time are also teaching opportunities for the children. Allergies and special dietary needs are always accommodated with a doctors note. We take allergies very serious.

Exceptional Teacher Child Ratios

At Gingercare we believe a smaller teacher child ratio is the key to building strong, compassionate, bright children. We keep the numbers of children to teachers under the state levels to provide the best learning environment and more individual attention for your child.

Safe and Secure Environment

Gingercare is dedicated to providing a safe and secure environment for your children. All classrooms are locked at all times and require a PIN to open the door. Parents or designated adults must sign in with their secure PIN on our computer before dropping off or picking up children. Photo IDs are required for any unfamiliar visitors.
